The autumn night
is long only in name --
We've done no more
than gaze at each other
and it's already dawn.


O.n.K.

Nothing is known about Ono no Komachi except that she belonged to a literary family, was perhaps an attendant to Emperor Nimmei (d.850), and exchanged poems with some of the major male poets of the mid-800s. Kokinshu/Kokin wakashu, an imperial anthology completed about 922, contains 18 of her poems; others appeared in later anthologies. A 1000's collection of her poetry, Komachi shu, includes 116 poems; it's not clear if all of the attributions are accurate.

Within a hundred years of her death Komachi had become the stuff of legend (see online): most of the stories about her appear to have been based on her poems, which are about love and the melancholy that it involves. But the reputation of her poems was such that she was later named as one of Japan's "Six Immortals of Poetry."
